Angry oil leaking on driver side cat converter

Hello fellow CL friends! I need some advice on what could be causing this problem.

I opened my door just the other day and noticed smoke coming from under the car coming into the cabin of my car. I opened the hood and saw oil hissing off of the converter. It seems to be coming from behind the engine. I looked under the car but cannot see from where it is coming from. The spots under the car that have oil drops are
-oil filter housing
-oil pan
-lowest end of transmission housing

I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and it still leaks. Anyone experience this? Thanks.

I'm loosing quite a bit of oil every week...

300 or 400? It could be the oil pressure sending unit.
